Mitt Romney has been Harry Reided. "Sen @MittRomney has a black eye and stitches, says he took a fall while visiting his son in Boston, “I took a fall, knocked me unconscious but I’m doing better.”
We know that democracy is dangerous and unstable. We were deliberately designed as a republic to constrain democracy. I'm starting to believe that a republic isn't strong enough. (at least not one with women's suffrage) A constitutional monarchy has its own problems (although a ruling oligarchy isn't one of them. We have one of those too, we just pretend we don't) witness the United Kingdom's problems with democratic impulses.
Where are all of the philosopher kings when we need them?
We don't need no stinkin' Congress. Streamline the government. President signs executive order, Supreme Court gives thumbs up or thumbs down same day. Cut out the middle men.

Maine moved to age based cutoffs for Covid vaccinations. Moving to 60+ on Wednesday. Mrs. stevew and I will be eligible at that point. We pre-registered today. Why not.
A long time and close friend died over the weekend. Just 54 years old. Heart attack. I've known him for 25+ years. Started as work colleagues, became good friends. He was a drummer, coaxed and cajoled me into playing with him band. Wouldn't have happened without him. We talked regularly, hadn't seen him in about 10 months because of government restrictions. Going to miss him, he was a great and reliable friend. His family will miss him more. Not sure what the government will allow by way of a funeral. Sigh.
CPAC's lawyer is blaming Hyatt Hotels for failing to exercise its "oversight role" in erecting a stage shaped like a Nazi symbol that a CPAC subcontractor designed. CPAC must have consulted with Donald Trump to dream up this defense. The lawyer even roped in the supposed outrage of Jews associated with CPAC, when in fact he likely talked to few if any of them. Everybody knows CPAC is dedicated to fight against antisemitism (except when it doesn't) - but enthusiastically permits repeated and deliberate lies that Donald Trump won the November 4 presidential election.
Lots of people here have been enjoying how Cuomo has gotten tagged as the sexist thug he undoubtedly is. All true, with the proviso that he’s mostly just an all-around thug, with fear and intimidation being his approach to pretty much everyone. The unfortunate reality is that NY is a one-party state, and he is the least crazy lefty wacko in Albany, making him what passes for the voice of sanity on issues like taxes, business regulation, etc in NY state government. Still, good riddance, even knowing that what will come after him will be worse in many ways.
..and he is the least crazy lefty wacko in Albany, making him what passes for the voice of sanity on issues like taxes, business regulation, etc in NY state government.

" AXIOS INTERVIEW: Senior White House adviser Cedric Richmond suggests White House will move on slavery reparations without Congress
This doesn't make any sense if you are a candidate that just won a legitimate election. There is no upside for the Biden administration here if they actually want to win future elections.
This is just not how a legitimate administration would act.
" ..and he is the least crazy lefty wacko in Albany, making him what passes for the voice of sanity on issues like taxes, business regulation, etc in NY state government."

The blue states destroyed themselves. Particularly the blue cities like New York San Francisco Seattle etc.
They will need massive bailouts from the federal government.
That will not even stop the bleeding.
Nobody likes what these people did or are doing.
Cuomo is also not in the Obama power block.
Cuomo's scalp will be sold to buy time for the Regime and solidify Kamala as the heir apparent.
Joe Biden will not be president by the end of the year 3 sigma. He has not given the State of the Union for a reason. His "What am I doing here?" bleep in Texas signals a catastrophic decline in his cognitive ability. Better than 50% he is out by July.
This is all falling apart for the Democrats. Kamala is worse than a mediocrity. She wont be able to hold it together.
Cuomo killed a lot of oldsters by sending covid patients into old folks homes that weren't equipped to deal with them -- but he should be removed from office because he suggested that a female staffer play strip poker? The only rationale for this that I can think of is that there must be a lot of other Democrat pols and/or bureaucrats who could be damaged by a serious investigation of oldfartgate.
“CPAC's lawyer is blaming Hyatt Hotels for failing to exercise its "oversight role" in erecting a stage shaped like a Nazi symbol that a CPAC subcontractor designed.”
Ohio opened Phase 2 - subparagraph 3 -section B ( or something like that ) for vaccine eligibility for over 60s. Talked to my folks tonight and they strongly encouraged me to get it ASAP. Also commented how they listen to Fauci every night and what a great job he is doing. Probably going to give it a bit more thought. Maybe when we get back from Cabo.
Gov Cuomon has served his first purpose--to be admired as the Anti-Trump Chief Executive, and is now in the second stage of his journey, when his worldly and fleshly sins will be paraded by the Lefteous to distract from his more serious policy malfeasances and failures, which are evidence of, dare I say it, systemic corruption at the highest levels of D politics.
The third step will be the pile-on, and then the public humiliation and scapegoating, ending with his hide laid before President Harris.

My Dear. Dearheart. Lady Professor. Professora? You might want to go back and examine your Sandra Lee post, specifically the comments section made therein. The vitriol expressed towards Ms. Lee, someone who's only goal was to inform and entertain, is rather off-the-charts.
The fact that Sandra Lee wound up with Cancer and then was dumped by her erstwhile non-Fiance (Cuomo), which now serves as fodder and cause for your delight, and a thinly-disguised feeling that she-got-what-she-deserved........ all for the sin of using "processed foods" in her recipes --------seems rather harsh and unnecessarily cruel.
Contrast Sandra Lee with Linda McCartney. "Linda McCartney's Home Cooking, published in 1989" Linda McCartney was a vegan who never used anything processed in her recipes....From Wiki: "McCartney's band used recipes from the cookbook for the exclusively-vegetarian catered tour, labelled "rock's first veggie tour", in 1989."
And look what happened: McCartney wound up with cancer and died young. So, did McCartney get-what-she-deserved, as you seem to insinuate with Sandra Lee ?
There has been a long tradition of wacky, outrageous cooking shows. People laughed at Julia Child, I thought Child was comedy, not cooking. Watching Martha Stewart tie ribbons and bows on the back of dining chairs seemed awfully pretentious to me. Sandra Lee always seemed rather down-to-earth compared to Child and Stewart. And, I gave her a lot of credit for ingenuity and practicality, two qualities I would have thought the Althouse Blog would herald.
The fact that someone could grow up in such hard-boiled, hard-scrabble circumstances with no advantages whatsoever, no trust fund, no silver spoon, and achieve a certain level of success, completely self-made.....we just don't see much of that these days.
And, you're ready to trash her because your absolutely certain that non-processed foods are some sort of panacea and guarantee you a long-life. You know, I hope that's true---really. But again, it didn't work out so well for Linda McCartney.
I just finished watching "Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words."

I have recently adopted a policy of purchase by cancellation. Shelby Steele's "What Killed Michael Brown" cancelled. Time to buycott it. Abigail Shrier's "Irreversible Damage", buycott. "When Harry Became Sally". More buycott.

Rory said... It seems Pennsylvania's teachers might not just jump the vaccine line, but be given dedicated vaccination sites. Just for them.
Here in WA state, there is only one school district that has not implemented some form of in-school education. At a minimum, school districts are beginning with 1/2 day kindergarten or 2nd grade (old enough to blow their noses!). Some schools (mostly in red districts "east" [of the mountains} have had some classroom teaching since September and they have slowly ramped up. Many districts took surveys of parents and teachers.
The one holdout? Northshore (north of Lake Washington - very upper middle class white folks; Woodinville, Bothell). No surveys taken (they know that parents want their kids back in the classroom). Website pretends that they are "getting ready" to "turn the corner". And one of the required items to "turn the corner"? Vaccination for all teachers, administrators, staff. Lower wage essential workers have been supporting the community at grocery stores, nursery homes, Home Depot, etc. etc. and they won't get vaccinated for several months. But Northshore School District teachers - special. They haven't won the battle yet (for once, our state is actually turning a blind eye to healthy 30 year old teachers and focusing on the elderly - especially BIPOC elderly - for getting vaccinated.
“That Bezos thinks he is entitled to make those judgments for me identifies him as a tyrant of the very first stripe.”

Stop me if you've heard this one, but a former colleague of mine is a vexillologist in his spare time, and published an article in which he analyzed the Arkansas state flag for Confederate iconography, symbology, and structure.

That clears it up Skipper, you don’t seem insane at all. I’m sure Bezos thinks he’s entitled to make judgements for you as well as all the other people that identify him as a tyrant of the very first stripe.
You really have a perfect grasp of the mind of Bezos. You’re not crazy. Nope. Not you. Yur smart!
Rep. Lauren Boebert who famously said: "Even though I now work in one of the most liberal cities in America, I refused to give up my rights, especially my second amendment rights, I will carry my firearm in DC and in Congress," bragged to CPAC that Rifle, Colorado, from where she hails, is the only place in the state named after a gun - unaware of the existence of Gunbarrel, just a mile or two outside of Boulder.
So she makes up her own rules as she gets into the new, Not-So-Grand-Old-Party. But for sure, just so you know, she didn't conduct any tours of the Capitol on or before January 5 attended by armed tourists.
Biden started a crisis at the border, that he didn't NEED to, but he had to overturn the good work done by Trump. So now kids in cages are kids in "Migrant Facilities". And they "claim" that 13,000 kids are coming here because they are unaccompanied. What happened to the parents?? Did they get taken from aliens?? Because just over a month ago....Trump was SEPERATING kids from their parents, but SUDDENLY....the kids are unaccompanied. THEY own this crisis. And WE are the assholes who have to pay for their deceit.
Blogger gadfly said... CPAC's lawyer is blaming Hyatt Hotels for failing to exercise its "oversight role" in erecting a stage shaped like a Nazi symbol that a CPAC subcontractor designed
That’s a real shame if true. The proper response is “fuck off.” This is all about changing the subject from Trump’s successful speech. When will Republicans stop playing the Democrat’s game?
Here's number two kicking off! https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/03/01/report-gretchen-whitmer-155506-taxpayer-funds-buy-former-health-director-silence/
"What made you change your mind? You said you weren’t going to get the vaccine. Is it because Trump and his wife got the vaccine?"
No. I have said that I didn't think it necessary and expected, based on the rules and roll out here, that it would not be available until well after herd immunity had been established and the incidence of the virus reduced to negligible numbers.
When will Republicans stop playing the Democrat’s game?
When they are voted out of office because they are happier playing the disgruntled minority.
Republicans should be demanding meetings with Biden on a weekly basis. Force Biden to govern, or explain why. Republicans should be accepting every call from propaganda media about any topic, but only talk about dementia. Lots of Republican are actually Democrats. See Liz Chaney, and Niki Haley.
I don’t have a problem, per se, providing free community college to African Americans, which is Biden’s reparations thing, it’s just that I remember when Obama had this plan to make community colleges centers of political organizing.
And Susan Collins, Mitt Romney, Charlie Baker, John Kasich. As Trump said, “The Republican Party is united. The only division is between a handful of Washington, D.C., establishment political hacks, and everybody else all over the country,”.
Charlie Baker is in an impossible position given the realities of elections in Mass, which I suspect are not totally on the up and up. For years Mass has been a deliberate welfare magnet, encouraging illegal immigration in order to establish one party control. I give him credit for wearing the scarlet R alone.
The US Postal Service (USPS) returned 705 letters as undeliverable to MassFiscal’s office. 73 percent (513) of the 705 voters who were flagged by the USPS, went ahead and voted in the November General Election at their undeliverable address.
This was just from a small sample of cities not including Boston, BTW.
Big Mike said... "Do you think D.C. is a safe space?
@Mr. Forward, gadfly might imagine so. So did Seth Rich." I'm sure some areas are extremely safe because there are armed soldiers to make sure no citizen gets in there. Because this is what free and fair elections look like.
Skipper, my friend found Confederate stuff all over Arkansas' banner, even more than the readily acknowledged star (one of four--for USA, CSA, Spain and France IIRC).
Narr And let's not forget what a diamond shaped rune stands for!
CPAC's lawyer is blaming Hyatt Hotels for failing to exercise its "oversight role" in erecting a stage shaped like a Nazi symbol that a CPAC subcontractor designed.
I admit, I learn far, far more about Nazis - and their symbolism - from leftists than I ever hear at my Klan meetings.

"Buycott." I like it. Thanks, Skipper!
Stop me if you've heard this one, but a former colleague of mine is a vexillologist in his spare time, and published an article in which he analyzed the Arkansas state flag for Confederate iconography, symbology, and structure.
He's a really smart guy, and as fine a Yankee as I've ever called friend, and you know what?

No, I want you to guess . . .
Fine Skipper,
you’re right, Bezos does think that he’s entitled to make judgements for you.
Your not insane.
You sure taught me lesson.
Carry on.

This is all falling apart for the Democrats. Kamala is worse than a mediocrity. She wont be able to hold it together.
And why is she where she is? Is it just that Obama had the hots for her?
Obama is a tool also.
A pretty face who if you criticize them you get called racist.

“That Bezos thinks he is entitled to make those judgments for me identifies him as a tyrant of the very first stripe.”
Your mind is not well.
I can assure you that Bezos doesn’t give a shit about you. You are not nothing to him. You are much less.
As much as you spent jabbering re him, he’s infinitely more removed from having a single neuronal junction re you.
If any of this is confusing to you, or it doesn’t cause you to express regret and effort try to do better re your typing in the future: you need professional help.
IMHO.
You could have just stopped at the first line and looked into the mirror.
You have had a real break in your mental processes. Your sporadic appearances here and name switches and the vitriol. You are not reacting well. I know it is hard to be a supporter of the Regime. You are supporting fascist tyrants. It must feel terrible.
There is only one thing that will make you feel better and act better.
You need to stop supporting fascist tyrants.
“Your sporadic appearances here”

Try better to keep up.
Sheesh.
“Maine moved to age based cutoffs for Covid vaccinations. Moving to 60+ on Wednesday. Mrs. stevew and I will be eligible at that point. We pre-registered today. Why not.”
What made you change your mind? You said you weren’t going to get the vaccine. Is it because Trump and his wife got the vaccine?

@Sprezzatura:
Fine Skipper,
you’re right, Bezos does think that he’s entitled to make judgements for you.
How about this:
That Bezos thinks he is entitled to make those judgments for me or anyone else identifies him as a tyrant of the very first stripe.
The meaning was bloody obvious enough as it stood, but maybe now it will be apparent even to you.
@Narr: Stop me if you've heard this one ...
No, I want you to guess . . .
Sorry, I'm just too damn thick.
"We have to start breaking down systemic racism and barriers that have held people of color back and especially African-Americans"
"Paging Mr Galt. It's time to start that strike".
That clears it up Skipper, you don’t seem insane at all. I’m sure Bezos thinks he’s entitled to make judgements for you as well as all the other people that identify him as a tyrant of the very first stripe.
You really have a perfect grasp of the mind of Bezos. You’re not crazy. Nope. Not you. Yur smart!
Rep. Lauren Boebert who famously said: "Even though I now work in one of the most liberal cities in America, I refused to give up my rights, especially my second amendment rights, I will carry my firearm in DC and in Congress," bragged to CPAC that Rifle, Colorado, from where she hails, is the only place in the state named after a gun - unaware of the existence of Gunbarrel, just a mile or two outside of Boulder.
So she makes up her own rules as she gets into the new, Not-So-Grand-Old-Party. But for sure, just so you know, she didn't conduct any tours of the Capitol on or before January 5 attended by armed tourists.

Pfizer's Covid vaccine may not work as well if you're fat: Obese people make HALF as many antibodies after getting two doses, study claims

Gunbarrel is unincorporated. A gun barrel is not a gun. Do you think D.C. is a safe space?
Do you think D.C. is a safe space?
@Mr. Forward, gadfly might imagine so. So did Seth Rich.
Biden started a crisis at the border, that he didn't NEED to, but he had to overturn the good work done by Trump. So now kids in cages are kids in "Migrant Facilities". And they "claim" that 13,000 kids are coming here because they are unaccompanied. What happened to the parents?? Did they get taken from aliens?? Because just over a month ago....Trump was SEPERATING kids from their parents, but SUDDENLY....the kids are unaccompanied. THEY own this crisis. And WE are the assholes who have to pay for their deceit.

That’s a real shame if true. The proper response is “fuck off.” This is all about changing the subject from Trump’s successful speech. When will Republicans stop playing the Democrat’s game?
Here's number two kicking off!

"What made you change your mind? You said you weren’t going to get the vaccine. Is it because Trump and his wife got the vaccine?"
No. I have said that I didn't think it necessary and expected, based on the rules and roll out here, that it would not be available until well after herd immunity had been established and the incidence of the virus reduced to negligible numbers.
When will Republicans stop playing the Democrat’s game?
When they are voted out of office because they are happier playing the disgruntled minority.
Republicans should be demanding meetings with Biden on a weekly basis. Force Biden to govern, or explain why. Republicans should be accepting every call from propaganda media about any topic, but only talk about dementia.
Lots of Republican are actually Democrats. See Liz Chaney, and Niki Haley.
I don’t have a problem, per se, providing free community college to African Americans, which is Biden’s reparations thing, it’s just that I remember when Obama had this plan to make community colleges centers of political organizing.
And Susan Collins, Mitt Romney, Charlie Baker, John Kasich. As Trump said, “The Republican Party is united. The only division is between a handful of Washington, D.C., establishment political hacks, and everybody else all over the country,”.
Charlie Baker is in an impossible position given the realities of elections in Mass, which I suspect are not totally on the up and up. For years Mass has been a deliberate welfare magnet, encouraging illegal immigration in order to establish one party control. I give him credit for wearing the scarlet R alone.
The US Postal Service (USPS) returned 705 letters as undeliverable to MassFiscal’s office. 73 percent (513) of the 705 voters who were flagged by the USPS, went ahead and voted in the November General Election at their undeliverable address.
This was just from a small sample of cities not including Boston, BTW.

@Mr. Forward, gadfly might imagine so. So did Seth Rich."
I'm sure some areas are extremely safe because there are armed soldiers to make sure no citizen gets in there. Because this is what free and fair elections look like.
It is curious how MA repeatedly elects Republican governors while being so thoroughly Democrat in all other elected offices.
Baker is in a tough spot but as a MA Republican politician he is a Democrat pretty much anywhere else in the country.
I went to bed, y'all.
Skipper, my friend found Confederate stuff all over Arkansas' banner, even more than the readily acknowledged star (one of four--for USA, CSA, Spain and France IIRC).

And let's not forget what a diamond shaped rune stands for!
When everything is "racists" nothing is "racists". Leftism the dumbing down of the American dream.

I admit, I learn far, far more about Nazis - and their symbolism - from leftists than I ever hear at my Klan meetings.
